Description:
Don't get it twisted: new Taylor Sheridan show The Madison has nothing to do with Yellowstone. But the 'fights' the cast promise in the final season 1 episodes have me thinking otherwise.

on Paramount+ but I fear it's been written off far too quickly.

Even before it was publicly released, I knew many fans would be disappointed by how far removed it feels from Yellowstone . If anything, it's much more akin to Netflix smash-hit Virgin River , which means the soap opera vibes are laid on thick. Granted, the move isn't going to be for everyone, particularly after The Madison was incorrectly reported to be a direct Yellowstone spinoff when it was first announced.

we know about Taylor Sheridan's new spinoff But the similarities to Yellowstone and the Dutton Ranch are more obvious than you might think. In fact, with episodes 4-6 still to go (releasing on March 21), the two shows might feel even more like sisters thanks to the "next-level fights" the cast is promising.

"There's no big bad corporation coming for us in the end. This is about the family moving through these feelings and the process of grief and transformation... how much can we trust each other, how much we want to rely on each other. How comfortable do we want to become in this environment?

"I think the stakes just get higher and higher as we continue to process
these really big feelings and try and figure out what kind of family this is going to be at the end of it all." Get daily insight, inspiration and deals

Tell me you don't read Adams' description and think of the Duttons. In fact, Yellowstone's dysfunctional family would probably have been better off if
they thought about their own relationships as deeply and compassionately. Thematically, Marshals: A Yellowstone Story and upcoming Dutton Ranch also fall into this blueprint.

"Outside characters come in that immerse us more into Montana," Beau Garrett, who plays Abigail, adds. "And there's steps in the logistics of tragedy that have to be met. There's moments of levity and there's moments of heaviness, and actually, more comedy. Oh, there's more fights.

"We like to fight... well, the sisters do. They're another level!" Garrett
and Elle Chapman, who plays Paige, agree. "But there's a lot of love there, too" Chapman adds.

Outside characters, you say? That sounds like potential crossover territory
if you ask me. So I beg you of, keep streaming if not for me, for Big Man Sheridan. I can feel the payoff coming. Today's best Paramount Plus deals Paramount Plus Premium - Monthly $12.99 /mth View at Paramount+ Paramount
